There are those who argue that the talk of overproduetion in cat tie is nonsense, and government statistics, which are usually at best old and more or less unreliable, are brought up to support the anti overproduction idea. But there is just one thing that must be remem- bered: Beef markets cannot be run on what may or may not be in the future. If 1t was certain to out siders that cattle next year would be worth exorbitant prices owing to scarcity, present excessive sup plies would cause present low-prices just as if there was never to be any let up to glutted markets.-Chicago Drovers' Journal.

makes notifications, which are as- sented to and acted upon by the proponent, the latter is as much bound by the contract as thus mod flied, as if the notifications had been in the original agreement. See Long & Simpson, executors, vs. Mayor, Records, etc., of Battle Creek, 39 Mich, 323.
 In conclusion, we have to say, that it is rule of law and equity, almost universally recognized-in the courts and in the books-that the contract of a corporation, as of an individual, may be implied from the acts of the corporation, or of its authorized agent; and if the corporation take and hold the ben eft derived from an unauthorized contract, 1t is estopped from deny ing the authority of theagent. The fact that the agent in this case was plaintiffs ingenious and astute so- licitor-having had charge for years of its great law department-that he had had divers tax cases for plaintiff and had made divers com promise contracts, like the one in question that during all this time, he had openly and notoriously ex- ercised the authority to. make such compromise-cOntracts on behalf of plaintiff, and in many of the States and Territories plaintiff had held him out as it's general solicitor, clothed with plenary power, in it's behalf, to transact any and all busi- ness, appertaining to it's law de- partment ;.and all this without call ing in question the legitimacy of his acts-we think these facts ought to estop the plaintiff from denying his authority to make the contract in question.

T.: Dear Sir-My only having returned to-day from San Francis co, accounts for my delay in an- swering yours of the 2d instant Our clerical force is very small and business crowding us, therefore have been unable to get out copy of the order of your Board as to the A. P. taxes; l will get you one however at the earliest date possi- ble. sometime ago sent an off cial communication to the clerk of your Board, regarding the payment of taxes by my company in your county, enclosing herewith printed copy of the statement made by me to the officers of Yavapai county. The status of affairs at present is as follows: Owing to decisions made by the courts exempting the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany from taxation Ia corporation having a charter identical with that of our company,) and opinions rendered by very able counsel, our company has arrived at the conclu- sion, that it is neither fair, right, nor just that they should pay taxes on an assessed valuation of $4,00G| per mile-feeling confident that no court will compel us to pay tax of even one-fourth of that amount, The tax paid by the Northern Pa cific only averaging about one and one-half per cent on an assessed valuation of about $500 per mile. I am still willing to make a fair and liberal settlement with your "Company", and to pay a very much larger amount than you could 1 ever recover from us by law; but I am not authorized to squander the company's money, by donating large amounts without rhine or req son. I hope and trust We may come to satisfactory agreement, and | settle these tax matters at once :; and shall be pleased to hear from you further on the subject. There is no animosity or ill-will existing at the present time between our selves and your county, and we de- sire to maintain these friendly rela- tions; and only ask for justice and fair treatment. The peculiar per formance of some of your people assembled in mass convention and passing resolutions asking repeal of our grant is to be deplored; !; but, for the present, will not be regarded IS an expression of the true senti- ments of the taxpayers of Apache county. With kindest regards,
 Yours truly,

Solicitor.

From this letter it is apparent that what plaintiff was willing and anxious to do, and had agreed to do, in June, it refused to do in De- cember. Here is plain refusal to comply with it's contract; a con- tract, too, which plaintiff, itself, had instigated and urged, and from which it had already reaped a large pecuniary benefit. And the only ostensible reason for this conduct is that, owing to certain decisions of the courts exempting the North ern Pacific Railroad from taxation, etc, it (plaintif) had come to the conclusion that it was neither fair, right, nor just that it should pay taxes in Apache county upon an assessed valuation of $4 ,000 per mile-the amount 1t had agreed upon. It is idle to say that the plaintiffs solicitor did not repre- sent the plaintiff in these letters. The evidence of ratification of the contract is quite sufficient; but, aside from that, these letters show that the solicitor was acting with the full authority, knowledge and consent of his Board of Directors. Here is great corporation, having

University.
The Third Annual Commencement
OF the aaIina Normal University
took place at the chapel Thursday.
Notwithstanding the heat there was
large and attentive audience, and
the exercises seem to have been
much enjoyed by all. Owing to the
failBFe Of the Orchestra at the last
moment TO fulfill their engagement
the music for the occasion was hasti-
~ improvised; but its excellence
was surprisingly superior. With
several finished performances at the
piano by Prof. Yungfeiseh and Miss
Tina Flanders, and the songs render
ed by the cultivated voices Of Misses
Belle Daily and Nettie Lanham, the
audience were most pleasiDgly enter
tanned. The stage was most taste
fully decorated, the audience room
airy and pleasant. An appropriate
invocation was rendered by Rev. w.
s. Priest. The program was long
but the various features were Of
sufficient merit to make It interesting
throughout. We cannot speak In
detail Of the different productions.
Those entitled 10 special mention
were those Of o. 8. Davis, w. N.
Reese and w. d. Struble. Their ef-
forts exhibited originality, thought
and special study. The beuedictlon
was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Barnes.
We are pleased to know that this
institution is In a surprisingly four

difficulties that were encountered At
the outset by the present Managers
The school was at 3 low ebb whea

Burning straw stack.

Burning Straw stack-
About 3 O'Clock Tuesday morning
a fire was noticed by several rest
dents in the vicinity Of the north
west quarter Of section swenty-seven,
Canton township, Mcpherson county.
Not much attention was paid 70 it,
a. It was seen to be only q straw
stack. But at II O'Clock in the fore
noon 8 Mr. Chaplin, living near
there was notified that his wagon
was In danger Of being burned, and
Immediately took q horse and rode
over to the burning stack. While
taking In the situation Of the wagon
he was startled by seeing a human
body lying In a sOutheasterly and
nOrthwesterly direction, head to the
northwest, partly consumed by the
devOuring element, and the con-
sumed stack south Of the body.
This unexpected and hOrrifying
sight so shocked him that he imme-
diately returned TO the town Of Can
ton and announced his discovery.
l.. J. SchermerhOrn, in company
with Rev. o. Gray forthwith went
to the spot and found the horrible
story, alas, too true. After recover
ering from their first surprise they
procured water to extinguish the
fire on and surrounding the body.
They found Il horribly burned, the
right foot being entirely consumed,
and some Of the larger bones eharred
to q crisp. A correspondent Of the
Mcpherson Republican says DR.
George examined the body and found
that bullet had entered near the
right side Of the back OF the head,
passed through and made its ext
above the left temple. The hands
OF the victim had apparently not
seen hard labor for many a day.
These discoveries were quickly cir
culated and about 3 O'Clock p. m. the
expressed opinion was that the vie
tim was shot by a ball from fire
arm at some distance from him, for
there was no trace Of burnt powder
near the shot wound, which pro-
duced instant death; then the life
less corpse, bare-fOOted, was taken
to this straw stack, which was fired
with the evident intent Of destroy
ing all evidence Of foul dealing.
The air is full Of stories, trivial
events Of the day before are related.
notes are compared, and these con-
illusions are made: That yesterday
two men with a band Of ponies for
sale were in Canton; last night
they camped near the city,
about One-half mile north Of
the straw stack which IL now q
smOldering heap. That this morn
ing, with the band OF ponies,
when they left town, was only one
Of those men; a young man Of our
city was hired to drive the wagon ae-
eOmpanying the pony outfit to New
ton that they were afterwards seen
on the road to Mcpherson. The
camp Of last evening was examined,
but that revealed nothing. L. Van
Gorden and his supposed brother
have been arrested on suspicion.

Supposed Discovery OF Natural Gas in
Greeley Township.

supposed discovery OF NaturAA nAs IN
Greeley Township.
Upon the farm Of Fred. SOfsky, I
miles east Of Salina in Greeley town
ship, a well had been dug to the
depth Of 33 feet and abandoned.
The dry spell coming on another at
tempt wss made to reach water, the
workmen carrying on their blasting
operations in the rock. The depth
Of about 40 feet was reached night
before LAST. Going to work yester-
day morning one of the three work
men was let partially down into the
we'll, when it was discovered that
the load was light, and the man had
fallen from the tub. The parties at
the windlass discovered a strong,
offensive smell proceeding from the
we'll and naturally drew the infer
ance that the usual foul air had
overcome their companion. Mr..
Sofsky ran to his home, procured a
handkerchief saturated with cam
phor, and wrapping this about his
face, was lowered into the well and
reached the bottom. He found him
self almost overcome with the air,
but managed to secure the insensIble
man by wrapping the rope around
him, and both men were diawn to the
upper air by the assistance Of those
who had arrived. The water which
had accumulated in the well was
filthy, and the stock although they
had gone many hours without water
would not touch IL. Using light at
the top Of tie well the gas ignited and
went off with a series Of explosions
as often a. it was lit. Specimens Of
the blast rock, resembling soap
stone-althOugh much harder, retain
sulphurOus smell. The water is
not tit for any use whatever. Piping
having been put i'm the well there
was power enough I'm the gas 70 force
stream Of water up several feet
Those who have been consulted con-
corning the matter believe that nat
ural gas has been discovered, and If
so Il will be bonanza for this vi
entity. Further Investigations will
be duly reported.
